Everyone seems to just love these little comment wars on YT. My guess is the closest most people who comment on these videos have come to serving in the military, is playing COD. The Russian's did not leave defeated. The government they backed in Afghanistan continued to stand until troops trained and supplied in Pakistan brought it down. As a former US soldier I can say that there is no more fearsome enemy or greater friend than the Russian soldier.

The US didn't commit to a total war against N. Vietnam for fear of provoking escalation with the Chinese and the Russians, both of whom had nukes. The US just ventured around the south while the N. Vietnamese threw their men away until USA got tired of slaughtering them and left. Getting tired and leaving is not: 1. losing or 2. getting their ass kicked.

Hitler did nothing right and the Germans STILL held off the Russians from 41 to 45, suffering only half the losses.

Not that any of that matters because WWII was a conventional war with conventional objectives. Vietnam was just waiting around and getting shot at. The only time the US took the fight to N. Vietnam and invaded Laos they stopped just a few km short of the largest Charlie base of them all because of some bullshit political reason and let the war drag on.

@wpaxton Well obviously they didn't matter when the US lost in Vietnam
